- Always put oil through the ends along with heat protection spray.
- Try to avoid brushing the extensions whilst wet as this can cause slippage. If you do wish to brush them ensure you hold the hair firmly at the top and only brush the mid-ends. When your hair is almost dry you can brush the top of the weft area.
- Start by letting down the hair at the back section by section. Blow dry on a cool/medium heat. Once almost dry you can brush as explained above then let down more hair continuing until dry.
- Remember this hair has come from another person so will likely dry differently to your own hair. Styling your hair extensions will ensure they blend with your own hair.
- Use a heated tool with temperature control and never exceed 180 degrees. Using too much heat can dry out your extensions and snap the ends as it would your own hair.
- The least heat you use on your extensions the longer they will last. Try to limit using heated tools to once-twice a week.
]]>- Use a tangle teaser brush or a brush especially designed for hair extensions.
- Start by holding the hair firmly as if its in a ponytail and gently brush from the ends slowly moving upwards to remove any tangles.
- Eventually brush gently over the rooted area
- Always work in sections from the bottom row first letting down one row at a time.

]]>Hard Water :
If you live in an area where there is high iron content in your water then this can cause hair
Suncreen : Sun tan lotions contain a chemical called avobenzone, which protects against UV rays. In order to ensure the longevity of the protection suncreens also contain octocrylene. These are both active ingredients and when exposed to the sun and hard water when you're washing your hair it causes a chemical reaction, which will then turn your hair orange or pink.
The only way to avoid this happening is to tie your hair back securely and avoid playing/touching with it during the day. Even with suncream on your hands it can transfer onto your hair.
Heated Tools:
Using heated tools too often, on a high heat and without using heat protection spray call all contribute to hair discoloring. Limit styling to once/twice a week, always use heat protection spray and never go above 180 degrees on heated tools.
